INDUSTRY NEWSThe partnership between J.D. Power Systems and Stateline can also take advantage of J.D.Transit, the transportation division of J.D. Equipment, which is one of the nation’s largestJohn Deere equipment dealers. J.D. Transit is an asset in moving engines, generator pack-ages and even completed enclosed packages.

The Mitsubishi engines incorporate
Woodward’s ECM3 controls. “This
highly sophisticated control allows
for a ton of functionality in controlling
options on the new Mitsubishi power
plants,” Leach noted. “This, coupled

with the Marathon generator ends,makes for a very robust and reliablepiece of equipment.”The gen-sets are operated throughBasler DGC 2020 controllers, digi-tal voltage regulators and annun-ciators, with Cutler-Hammer circuitbreakers standard.

“Basler controllers were selected
as standard in order to keep the
electronics uniform,” said Leach. “The
practicality of keeping with one manufacturer was determined with servicing aspects in mind. If an end user
ever does have an issue with the
electronics, there is one company
to call to discuss all matters and not
several separate ones.

“Additionally, the Basler BestComlogic was chosen to be most user-friendly in developing the means ofincorporating nuances related to cus-tomization. We decided that BestComwas easiest for us to program andincorporate additional I/Os and alsoexporting Modbus to a BAS system.Another factor was in the amountof additional equipment that Basleroffered such as the LSM-2020, whichallows for load sharing.”The gen-sets are housed withinaluminum or steel enclosures withpowder coat finishes for resistanceto weather conditions. The enclo-sure hardware is all stainless steelfor maximum resistance to rust andcorrosion. Hinged access doorsallow for access to the engine andgenerator, and oil and fluid drainlines are plumbed to the outside ofthe enclosure.
